When Love Was Enough
Cherished Moments: When Love Trumped Everything
Lyrics
Working three jobs, just the two of us
Struggling with three jobs between the couple
Still the bills kept piling up
Despite working hard, the couple faced mounting bills
Had a car that was mostly rusting rubber
Their car was mostly deteriorating due to rust
We didn't know we had it made
Unaware at the time, they felt content
We were robbing Peter to keep Paul paid
They juggled financial responsibilities, struggling to make ends meet
We didn't have much, but we still had each other
Despite having little materially, they had each other
We'd call in sick and head for the lake
They would take time off work to enjoy leisure moments by the lake
I sure do miss those good ole days
The nostalgia for those simple times is strong
When love was enough
Reflecting on a time when love was sufficient
When love was enough
Emphasizing the simplicity and power of love during that period
The race with the Jones is right on track
Comparing their lives to others, striving to keep up with material possessions
The cars, the boat, and the pool out back
Listing items indicative of material success (cars, boat, pool)
The swimming debt, and it's about to drag us under
Feeling overwhelmed by accumulating debts due to materialism
We put in eighty hour weeks
They worked excessively to afford unnecessary things
To buy more stuff that we don't need
Realizing material possessions don't satisfy deeper needs
The things we buy can't satisfy our hunger
Material possessions don't fulfill their true desires
Why don't we call it quits and head for the lake?
Suggesting returning to a simpler, happier time by the lake
I sure do miss those good ole days
Expressing a longing for the simplicity of the past
When love was enough
Reminiscing about a time when love was the primary focus
When love was enough
Highlighting the sufficiency of love during simpler times
Let's find our way back there again
Proposing a return to that state of contentment
Now is not that far from then
Stating that the past and present aren't so different
We had enough way back when
They had enough love in the past despite financial scarcity
We didn't have a dime to spend
Emphasizing they were content despite lacking money
But, love was enough
Reiterating the sufficiency of love despite poverty
When love was enough
Emphasizing the strength of love during challenging times
When love was enough
Repeating the sentiment that love was enough in the past
When love was enough
Reaffirming that love was sufficient in a simpler time
